Advantages: Power metal at it's best
Disadvantages: To self centered
A great album of this imortal warriors of metal. If you like encouraging songs that sound like battle hymns, this is for your. Wheels of fire is the more typical heavy metal track of the album, even in the lyrics. Fast paced and interesting lyrics (just don't drive while you listen to this). The next tracks, kings of metal, is one of my faves. Great sound with self centered lyrics. A shame the choir sometimes sounds fake. Heart of steel is kind of a balad. Very sentimental and may touch those who feel "linked" to the lyric. I'll jump Sting Of The Bumblebee, The Crown And The Ring (Lament Of The Kings), Kingdom Come, because I find them the weaker in the album and I really don't listen to them very much (sting of the bumblebee is almost anoying). Pleasure slave is a lustfull music, with a great sound and ... intereting lurics (just don't listen this in a date) Hail and Kill is an amzing battle hymn that starts slow but soon starts with great speed and inspiring lyrics. My fave track in this album. The warrior's prayer is a short story told by an old man to his grandson. Blood of the Kings is an amazing battle hymn of epic proportions that will lift your spririt like nothing ever before (all manowar songs have that efect, though) Great album for manowar fans, power metal fans. Even non metal fans will probably find this apealing.

- 22/05/04 I got into Manowar in a big way a year ago, but I've gone them quite a bit now. I had this album and I found a lot of it very good, but I hated that damn "grandfather, tell me a story" 8th track! I actually liked "Kingdom Come," but nowadays I've been exploring more progressive power metal. |
